In reply to the discussion: CNN Has Gone Full-on Nazi, Republikkkan [View all]TheBeam19
(344 posts)11. Not what happened. Your quote is false and misleading.
Context matters. Heres the quote youre referring to, in which Tapper lists all reactions to the policy. Directly from the show transcript:
Leading Democratic lawmakers are hailing the president's move today, calling it, quote, a giant step forward in addressing the student debt crisis, but some key parts of the president's coalition say the move does not go far enough. And some Democrats and many Republicans say this is nothing but a handout on the backs of taxpayers at a time the country cannot afford it.

Tapper himself isnt saying what you allege, and he certainly didnt say what you put in quotations.
This is how reporting the news works. Hes not there to tell you what you want to hear in order to make you feel better; hes there to tell you whats happening. If you dont want to know whats actually happening, why watch a news program in the first place?
